Just One of Those Things
Unraveling Love's Whirlwind: Just One of Those Things by Shirley Bassey
Lyrics
It was just one of those things
Referring to a random occurrence or event
Just one of those crazy flings
Describing a spontaneous and unpredictable romantic relationship
One of those bells that now and then rings
Comparing the relationship to a bell that occasionally rings, perhaps indicating moments of excitement or passion
Just one of those things
Reiterating that the relationship was just a passing event
It was just one of those nights
Referring to a particular night that stands out
Just one of those fabulous flights
Describing the night as fabulous and exhilarating
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
Using imagery of a trip to the moon on gossamer wings to convey the extraordinary nature of the experience
Just one of those things
Emphasizing that this night was just a singular event
If we'd thought a bit before the end of it
Reflecting on the possibility of avoiding the consequences if more thought had been given
When we started painting the town
Recalling the joyous moments of the relationship when they were out enjoying themselves
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Acknowledging that the love affair was intense and passionate
Was too hot not to cool down
Recognizing that such intense relationships are likely to cool down
So good-bye, dear, and amen
Saying farewell and expressing hope for occasional future meetings
Here's hoping we meet now and then
Wishing well for the future despite the end of the affair
It was great fun
Summing up the relationship as enjoyable and memorable
But it was just one of those things
Reiterating that it was just a passing experience
If we'd thought a bit before the end of it
Repeating the reflection on the consequences of not thinking ahead
When we started painting the town
Recalling the joyful moments of the relationship when they were out enjoying themselves
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Acknowledging that the love affair was intense and passionate
Was too hot not to cool down
Reiterating that such intense relationships are likely to cool down
So good-bye, dear, and amen
Bidding farewell again and expressing hope for occasional future meetings
Here's hoping we meet now and then
Wishing well for the future despite the end of the affair
It was great fun
Summing up the relationship as enjoyable and memorable
But it was just one of those things
Reiterating that it was just a passing experience
